Dutch Apple Pie Puffins

I did make the following changes to it. Since I don't have almond flour, I substituted in all-purpose flour. I also chose not to cook the apples so that they would retain their crunch and add some contrast in texture. Finally, since I don't have a big family to help me eat this, I scaled the recipe down and made it in mini muffin form, hence the new name "Puffins" (pancake muffins).

The little Puffins had a creamy, custardy texture to them, akin to clafoutis. The apples added a nice bit of crunch and, since the puffins weren't too sweet, it made them perfect for enjoying with a little maple syrup to dip them in. Thanks for the recipe Judee!

Wow do those look fantastic. Perfect for North Carolina's apple crop. Lisa come visit us on Tuesday. We ate having our first give away and we are so excited. We would love fornyou to be one of the winners.
